Influences
ROLLING STONE -- "Pure Americana heart and soul -- almost as bad ass as the black clad man for whom they're named."
BILLBOARD -- "Captures the lonesomeness of Cash, the stripped-down melodies of Nebraska-era Bruce Springsteen, the rowdiness of Steve Earle and morphs them into a captivating collection that blends twang and sophistication."
COUNTRY STANDARD TIME -- "Walks a deliberately fine line between rootsy contemporary Americana and twangy traditional country. . . with elements of twang and Tex-Mex, like a mutant blending of the Buckaroos and Los Lobos, BSOJC tear through a set of story songs written by Mark Stuart . . . as if the Blasters had been more influenced by pure country than rockabilly."
Mark Stuart, the voice and vision of acclaimed alt-country group Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, is gearing up for the release of his new CD, Bend In The Road, out September 22nd, 2009 on his own Texacali Records with distribution by Nashville-based Dualtone Music. In addition, after three successful albums and thousands of gigs fronting Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, a moniker for which the Man in Black gave his permission and his blessing, Stuart and his crew are driving on under a new name: Mark Stuart and The Bastard Sons, a tag that more accurately reflects the tone of Stuart’s music and the direction of his expressive and confident songwriting.
